Abstract

A heat pump arrangement includes a heat pump device, an evaporator cycle interface for inputting liquid to be cooled into the heat pump device and for outputting cooled liquid out of the heat pump device, a condenser cycle interface for inputting liquid to be heated into the heat pump device and for outputting heated liquid out of the heat pump device, a controllable heat exchanger for controllably coupling the evaporator cycle interface and the condenser cycle interface, and a control for controlling the controllable heat exchanger in dependence on an evaporator cycle temperature in the evaporator cycle interface or a condenser cycle temperature in the condenser cycle interface.
